Leadership in Crisis!

In any church there are challenges, especially where leadership is concerned. The church board is the local church highest authority. Therefore it pains me to hear of the concerted attacks of satan on leadership. As one who had served as a board member for some time a while aback, it always amazes me how satan weaves his cunning web around some who embrace his lies and deceptions instead of turning away in horror like Joseph: How can I do this thing and sin against God? This does not merely refer to leaders being caught up in sexual sin but any and everything that will bound you to satan. The truth be told I think sexual sin is the major tool the devil uses to ensnare and entrap our male leaders (females to a lesser extent). This I have seen firsthand and quite a few times at that. When these men are at their peak in terms of working for the Lord, it is then that the enemy will use an unconverted agent (member or non member) to wreck and destroy all that has been done in the name of Christ. What had taken years in some instances is destroyed literally over night. The Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy warn us in no uncertain terms of the results of this sin. So then how can leaders, members or anyone avoid this most dangerous pitfall? This will be the subject of my next post. Till then be blessed.
